‘We die together’: Horrifying last words of Turkish man who dragged his girlfriend to her death out of jealousy

A 41-year-old Turkish man, Selcuk Cetiner, has committed suicide and murdered his girlfriend, 35-year-old Mehlika Derici, in a murder-suicide case.

The couple had gone out to celebrate a friend’s birthday at a restaurant in Turkey and had been drinking during the get-together.

They all decided to move the party to Asiklar Tepesi viewpoint, popularly known as Lovers Hill, and were joined by the celebrant, Merver, 32, and her boyfriend, Arda Tolunay.

However, the romantic evening took a drastic turn when a fight broke out between Cetiner and Mehlika. Although the cause of the argument is unclear, it was allegedly fueled by jealousy.

Cetiner reportedly pushed Mehlika to the ground during the fight, and she was helped to get on her feet by the birthday girl and her partner.

In a fit of rage, Cetiner is said to have shouted: “If we die, we die together”. He then wrapped his arms around Mehlika’s waist and threw himself off the cliff, taking her with him.

Unfortunately, they both died at the scene.
